Brothers Behind Village Muggings Finger Each Other

The two men arrested last month for a series of muggings that sent residents of the West Village into a panic were in court yesterday where it was revealed that each of them had attempted to shirk off the brunt of the responsibility onto the other when they had been questioned by cops. 30-year-old Anhtony Lindsay and 21-year-old Adam Temple, the pair of Brooklyn men whom the Post calls "half-witted half-brothers," both pleaded not guilty and remain in jail with bail set at $500,000. Lindsay claims the robberies were Temple's idea and swore to cops, "I didn't have the gun," while Temple recounted one of the robberies where "Adam grabbed (the victim), and I went for the purse. She Maced me when I grabbed her bag. We both let go and ran away toward the train station." The men were caught just one night before Christine Quinn was holding a meeting to address the alarming situation that left one woman bloodied with her jaw broken.
